The cuisine of Cubelles reflects the traditional Catalonian Mediterranean diet, with a focus on fresh seafood, local produce, and quality wines. Visitors can expect to enjoy dishes like “suquet de peix,” a hearty fish stew typical of the Catalan coast, or “escalivada,” a roasted vegetable salad made with eggplant, red peppers, and onions, often served with grilled meats or fish.
Local tapas bars are popular, offering a wide variety of small dishes, such as “calamars a la romana” (fried calamari), “pa amb tomàquet” (bread with tomato), and fresh seafood like prawns, sardines, and mussels. The area’s proximity to the Penedès wine region also ensures that there is always a selection of fine wines, especially cava, to accompany meals.
For dessert, a must-try is the traditional “crema catalana,” a rich custard dessert with a caramelized sugar topping. Numerous restaurants and cafes in Cubelles offer these delicacies, providing both casual dining and gourmet experiences.
